As most of you know, and likely even remember yourselves, making the transition to the college lifestyle can be a major adjustment. That’s why we’ve compiled the 10 best Apple and Android apps for international students—a population that’s quickly accounting for a large group within incoming and transfer students.

For more than 800,000 international students who attend college in the U.S. every year, the transition to both college and to the country are one in the same. Adjusting to an entirely new culture, learning a new language, and getting the feel for a new area can always be difficult, but when you add taking a full course load and learning to live on your own for the first time, you’d likely be hard pressed to find an international student who wouldn’t mind some help managing his or her experiences once in a while.

Luckily, there are a multitude of apps that can make life easier for international students, and whether they’re an international student hailing from from Korea or Portugal, or if they simply want to learn about some great apps, here are some of the top 10 apps for international students.
